Bob Kevoian
Good morning live from Covington, Kentucky. Right across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio For Opening Day 2025 of the Cincinnati Reds. Where would you rather be than right here, right now?
Tom Griswold
Nowhere.
Bob Kevoian
Woo. Where did all these people come from?
Chick McGee
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
The bar is open.
Bob Kevoian
Yes. The. And we are. We are live as we get. Man. Here we go.
Tom Griswold
Just crossed the Ohio River.
Bob Kevoian
Yep.
Tom Griswold
Covington, Kentucky, as you said.
Bob Kevoian
Scared the hell out of me. That bridge.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Got the greats on it.
Chick McGee
The singing bridge.
Bob Kevoian
And your.
Josh Arnold
Like that.
Bob Kevoian
Your wheel. Your front wheel starts to go. I don't like it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's beautiful. Kentucky. Covington. It's a great old town. And I can explain why we are where we are.
Bob Kevoian
All right.
Tom Griswold
The name.
Bob Kevoian
Because when they. They set up the states and they put the border over here at the river. Is that. How Is that What?
Tom Griswold
No, I was referencing the actual location.
Bob Kevoian
Oh. Smoke Justice.
Tom Griswold
We come to you from Smoke Justice. Do you know what that means?
Bob Kevoian
He was a major league baseball player. Correct?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Very good. I had no idea. I thought it was a dispensary smoke. Of course.
Chick McGee
I thought it was a barbecue place.
Tom Griswold
Both perfectly valid and apparently. Do we have any residents of the Commonwealth of Kentucky here with us? This is radio. Yes. Speak up. There we go. Don't raise your hand. The weed is not legal in Kentucky. Is that correct? Right.
Bob Kevoian
And is Ohio yet? Or is it. It is. Okay. All right.
Tom Griswold
But in Ohio. Don't you. Isn't it really complicated? You have to have a semen stain from one of the senators or something to get.
Josh Arnold
No, Those are easier to find than you might think.
Tom Griswold
You're not kidding.
Bob Kevoian
Mike DeWine. Yeah. You gotta have it.
Tom Griswold
Is it? What? Medical marijuana in Ohio.
Chick McGee
Both.
Tom Griswold
Reverend. Okay. Are you holding right now, Sir? There's no police here. Don't worry about it. I mean, if anybody looks like they'd be holding it, it'd be you, but. Yeah. You think Kentucky would have the brains to go, hey, look, we've got all this great tobacco. Oh, they have a soil.
Josh Arnold
They have a pretty strong bourbon lobby.
Tom Griswold
You're kidding me.
Bob Kevoian
That's what might be a slight snag.
Tom Griswold
Has anyone ever done a study of if they have legal marijuana? Does. Do liquor sales go down?
Bob Kevoian
I do not know.
Chick McGee
I'm sure there has been.
Bob Kevoian
That's a Tom Griswold question. I don't know.
Tom Griswold
It'd be logical question. In any event. Yeah, we are at smoke justice, which, by the way, is. Is kind of one of the. The sites for bourbon in the United States of America and the world.
Bob Kevoian
And we're one of the bigger countries.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, we are.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
They actually have to have a ladder.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
To get to the top shelf here.
Bob Kevoian
Well, this guy here, the bartender here, he's doing the. The cocktail thing where he holds the bottle and he's flipping it around and he got the milkshake thing.
Josh Arnold
O Showman.
Bob Kevoian
He looks like Pete Davidson a little bit, ladies. Looks like Pete Davidson.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I understand he got junk hung on.
Bob Kevoian
Him nine inches long. Well, look at it.
Tom Griswold
That actually leads to our first letter.
Bob Kevoian
All right, my psychic comedy continues.
Tom Griswold
If I can open this thing up. Josh, you were quoting a. A motion picture recently. I believe it was called the Anaconda.
Josh Arnold
No, it's just called Anaconda.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I see. So it's like the band the Eagles. Just Eagles. Got it. Okay.
Bob Kevoian
I saw this email and I refused to read it. You'll hear why.
Tom Griswold
What was the quote exactly?
Josh Arnold
From the movie Ice Cube, when he sees how big the snake skin is from an anaconda exclaims, it's Snakes are dead is big.
Tom Griswold
That's very nice.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, it's getting worse. You're right.
Tom Griswold
Tom s kind enough to write a Dear Bob and Tom show. My name is also Tom.
Bob Kevoian
Hey.
Tom Griswold
My junk is referred to as the Tomakonda.
Josh Arnold
Very nice.
Tom Griswold
I like by the ladies. Then he says, actually, he's a cute little fella.
Bob Kevoian
That's adorable.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I. I don't know what to believe.
Bob Kevoian
But don't you want one that doesn't, like, scare you?
Chick McGee
Sure. I don't want to be scared.
Bob Kevoian
Holy hell.
Chick McGee
Is that what they tell you?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
They're lying.
Bob Kevoian
That's gonna.
Josh Arnold
That's what they want.
Bob Kevoian
That's gonna rearrange my. Somewhere in there. Good.
Tom Griswold
But pat, yours is attached to your body. You Got that going for you.
Christy Lee
It may be short, but it's thin.
Tom Griswold
Okay, good. Pat Godwin has joined us.
Bob Kevoian
Hey, Pat Godwin. Hey.
Tom Griswold
Fresh from the hotel bed.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I just woke up.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
He's got that love hangover and it's sweetest hanging. His room was right next to mine.
Christy Lee
Traveling with the lady is up a little late.
Tom Griswold
Not pudding.
Bob Kevoian
I told him. I said we went to our rooms at the same time. And I said, patrick, pace yourself, and put a pillow over her face. Okay. For God's sake, if you wake me up.
Christy Lee
We were trying to be quiet.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Instead of hotel pool is going to be hotel sex.
Christy Lee
Oh, boy.
Josh Arnold
I got a song about hotel puddle.
Tom Griswold
It won't be like I said, from all the sobbing.
Christy Lee
No, no, no sobbing last night. It won't be begging up front, but okay.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, you always gotta have big.
Christy Lee
Oh, God.
Josh Arnold
And then finally you gave in and let her out. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
It won't be long till hotel hotel sex will be Jimmy's favorite.
Chick McGee
So.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, he'll be out there.
Tom Griswold
That's his son.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Yeah. How?
Christy Lee
He's 14.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, like two years. He'll be out there.
Tom Griswold
No, do. Do your own laundry. Yeah, I know.
Christy Lee
I know where you're going with this.
Tom Griswold
You ever pick up a sock? He has a lot of structure to it. He has a method.
Christy Lee
I don't want to go into it.
Tom Griswold
Okay. I was trying to explain. Smoke justice is actually named after the pitcher, Walter Smoke justice, who pitched for the Covington Blue Sox of the Federal League in 1913.
Bob Kevoian
I believe that's the. The Negro leagues, yes.
Tom Griswold
He also played for the Detroit Tigers.
Bob Kevoian
There you go.
Tom Griswold
Sent down In August of 1905, by the way, he was replaced with some guy named Ty Cobb.
Bob Kevoian
Oh. Oh, I bet. I bet Ty felt entitled to that roster slot.
Tom Griswold
Could be.
Bob Kevoian
If I'm guessing, by the way, Smoke.
Tom Griswold
Justice enshrined in the hall of Fame for a record number of no hitters in one season in the minor leagues. So that's kind of cool.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, very.
Bob Kevoian
You can't go wrong. I would have come to this place. Have you had the brisket yet?
Tom Griswold
Oh, it's so good here. Yeah, already the brisket.
Christy Lee
Early morning.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's great.
Bob Kevoian
I was here yesterday. Sleepy Pat, this is a.
Tom Griswold
This is a beautiful old. Old bar. Reminds me of a funky old bar in New York City down in the Village. It's beautiful.
Bob Kevoian
When were you in the Village, Tom?
Christy Lee
You're a lot more men, though.
Bob Kevoian
You and Dorothy Park.
Josh Arnold
I would dine with Joan Didion and.
Bob Kevoian
Griffin Dunn came in. Oh, I said, oh, Griffin.
Christy Lee
Oh, that Doroth.
Bob Kevoian
By the way, Tom. Tom and I just happened to walk in at the same time, and we're walking up the stage, and he looks at me and he goes, oh, where are the exits? Where are the exits? And I said, what the hell are you talking about?
Tom Griswold
I just made sure I'm the closest, so.
Bob Kevoian
And he goes, this place goes up.
Tom Griswold
At least I get out in case.
Bob Kevoian
This thing goes south. I need to know where the exits are.
Tom Griswold
It's perfectly valid.
Chick McGee
What the hell's wrong with you?
Bob Kevoian
I said, what? We're not Led Zeppelin, okay?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but we. We are. Well, I won't mention the band, but.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, great White. Yeah, the ceiling's just as low, though, I can tell you that.
Tom Griswold
Well, no fireworks today. A couple cool things we have going on. We are selling a special T shirt. There's one right there. In honor of this special live broadcast from Greater Cincinnati celebrating opening day of the Major League Baseball season as the Reds take on San Francisco. The all the money from these shirts is going to go to a great charity that makes special pajamas for kids at the Cincinnati Hospital for Kids. It's from Brave Gowns. They're gonna make, like, little superhero costumes and stuff for kids that are in the hospital. It's so cool. And if you're not here, you can. I think we have some of the shirts online, but also, you can just make a donation. We'll put a link up. You can make a direct donation to this great charity, should you feel so inclined.
Bob Kevoian
Let me hear you, Tom. It's not the San Francisco Giants. It's the G Men. Or the oversized.
Tom Griswold
Okay, okay.
Bob Kevoian
Give it a.
Tom Griswold
Give it a shot over the overshadow. Now, speaking of baseball announcing, we're going to have a special baseball announcing tribute coming up today. Also, speaking of bourbons and the like, this special broadcast is brought to you by our friends, including Mr. Drew Storen, who will be our special guest Coming up a little bit later on this morning, representing the Field of Dreams Whiskey Company. And we're going to explain what that is all about. It involves the actual Field of Dreams baseball field in Iowa and the corn that they grow there on. Is that a word, Josh?
Josh Arnold
Why not?
Tom Griswold
Okay, we just invented it. Okay, good to know. But right now, I want to remind you about your retirement. Hey, you're getting old, right? You got your embouchure ready over there, chief? Chick Magee, are you familiar with the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index?
Bob Kevoian
I am. However, I'm more of a footsie guy.
Tom Griswold
Tom, that's the London Stock Exchange, I believe.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, is that what.
Tom Griswold
I have no idea. You just like to say footsie, don't you?
Bob Kevoian
I don't know that. I just like to say footsie.
Tom Griswold
Okay, good. Now, the stock market is known for going up and down. Can you give me an oral representation? There we go. That's okay. That's what's happening day to day right now, by the way. One day it's up, one day it's down. Very confusing. Now, if you've got all your funds in the stock market, it might be kind of a wild ride. Maybe you're getting a little confused. How about something a little more steady, Something with a lot less volatility? That, of course, would be Silac Insurance and something called an annuity. What are annuities all about? You can go to bobandtom.com and Chick Magee will walk you through it.
Josh Arnold
It's annuities out there this big.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. My flaps. My flaps.

Christy Lee
The trucks come by. They're right on time. Oh, that's another Amazon.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. We have another request for Pat, but let's see now. Do you want to stop at the sports page while we're here talking about the world of baseball?
Bob Kevoian
I thought we were talking about letters.
Tom Griswold
That were getting more letters.
Bob Kevoian
Letter. Yeah. Dear Bob and Tom Show. I went to a small high school in central Indiana back in the 80s. Like many other drivers had teachers, ours had other responsibilities. One class was out driving on an interstate one day and the teacher fell asleep without the driver knowing. They wound up in Illinois, over an hour away from the school. The student said she just kept driving because the teacher didn't tell her to do anything else. I work on the road a lot of time in smaller towns and cities. I had the opportunity. I won't say Pleasure to be in London, Ohio, not long ago.
Josh Arnold
Hey, is that the home of Chick McGee?
Bob Kevoian
London, Ohio? You guys know where London is? Oh, for God's sake.
Tom Griswold
The birthplace of Chick Maggie. Is there a sign when you pull in, there should.
Bob Kevoian
While entering the city limits, I was a little taken aback that there wasn't a sign out there that said, home of Chick McGee from the Bob and Tom Show. So when I stopped to gas up my car, I went inside to pick up a few things. While I was paying, I said to the technician behind the register, I'm really surprised there's no sign at the city limits proclaiming it's pride to be home of the famous Chick Magee, the lovely attendant. This is Ron's description. A rather large woman with a receding hairline and a big mole on her chin looked at me with a face that I could only describe as she's trying to hold in a large fart and loudly said, who the hell's Chick Magee? I said, he's been on the Bob and Tom show for decades.
Josh Arnold
No, if she don't want to know, forget her.
Bob Kevoian
That's what I. Oh, and a little.
Tom Griswold
Quote from Thin Lizzy.
Josh Arnold
That's right.
Bob Kevoian
And she said, never heard of him. I'm gonna look that lady up.
Christy Lee
That's your Aunt Mary.
Bob Kevoian
Probably is.
Tom Griswold
Once again, we've. The world of driver's ed has really taken over our mailbag. I got this one. We were heading to i64 to do some interstate driving. Our elderly instructor lived down the road from the high school. He decided to ask us to stop by his house. He went inside, came out, popped open a pbr.
Josh Arnold
Yeah?
Chick McGee
He said.
Tom Griswold
As he was downing it, he said, I thought this was a Diet Coke.
Josh Arnold
Oh, did you, sir?
Tom Griswold
He then proceeded to slam the beer.
Josh Arnold
And crush the can on his forehead.
Tom Griswold
Thank you.
Bob Kevoian
So the taste didn't stop him.
Tom Griswold
Right?
Christy Lee
Right.
Bob Kevoian
The labels.
Tom Griswold
Well, I'm not gonna.
Josh Arnold
He's not gonna. Wasted.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Chick McGee
You already opened it, right?
Tom Griswold
Right. Now, yesterday we had the unpleasant topic of obituaries. For some reason, we were talking about the obits. My uncle would always look at the obituaries and laugh and laugh and say, well, my name's not in there, so I guess that means I've got to go to work.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, I like. I like it.
Jeff Oskay
You don't like that?
Bob Kevoian
Guess that means I gotta go to work.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that's funny.
Tom Griswold
It must be. It must be love. Now, let's check in with some sporting scenes. But first we must say, we are in the mobile O'Reilly. Auto parts studios here in Kentucky, Covington, Kentucky. Brought to you by Field of Dreams Whiskey Co. This morning, a special broadcast from the Smoke justice bar here in the Bob and Tom Show. Chick McGee at the at the orangeinsoles.com mobile sports desk.
Bob Kevoian
What's right. First of all, 11:30am The Findlay Market opening day parade starts here in Cincinnati.
Josh Arnold
I love a parade.
Bob Kevoian
Kicks off on Joe Nuxall Way, Freedom Ways and Marion Spencer and all. It says here in the. The guide is there are many streets blocked off in downtown Cincinnati for the opening day parade. And does anybody know who's going to be the grand marshal? Chris Sabo. That's exactly.
Josh Arnold
Oh, is he gonna wear his goggles?
Bob Kevoian
Do you remember? Yeah. Josh, remember what his nickname was? I don't know how popular it was, but they called him Spuds McKenzie. Remember Sabo looked like Spuds the Mackenzie the dog.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I remember him wearing those goggles.
Josh Arnold
He swung the bat like he had like a. Before the pitch or whatever. He would swing his wild too. Yeah. I love Chris Samo.
Bob Kevoian
Is that right? He's a lot of effort.
Chick McGee
What do you mean?
Bob Kevoian
Not a lot of talent, but a lot of effort.
Tom Griswold
We had. We had Spuds McKenzie on our show one morning.
Bob Kevoian
This makes me sad when you mention this every time.
Tom Griswold
Well, put it this way.
Bob Kevoian
There must have been trouble with spuds biting someone is all I can say.
Tom Griswold
Spuds was looted out.
Chick McGee
Is that the trazodone or something?
Bob Kevoian
He was definitely sedated. Yeah, Drug.
Tom Griswold
He'd go like wolf.
Bob Kevoian
Wow. Wolf man. And they said, oh no, he's just waiting for the next party.
Josh Arnold
Yes, that's right. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Probable pictures for the oversize. It'll be right hander Logan Webb towing the slab.
Josh Arnold
Who? Who? Webb. Who's the.
Bob Kevoian
Logan. Logan Webb.
Josh Arnold
What is it, Professor Logan.
Bob Kevoian
I made a boom boom in the backseat.
Josh Arnold
You know what? I just cleaned that.
Bob Kevoian
Do you have a dude wife?
Tom Griswold
What movie is this?
Bob Kevoian
It's a real mess back.
Josh Arnold
It's from Logan. It's called Wolverine.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Oh, okay.
Bob Kevoian
And Hunter Green for your Cincinnati Reds. That's the. That's what we think it is. Or as I call him, Hunter Verde. Verde. Come on, people. Learn your life.
Chick McGee
Very nice.
Bob Kevoian
Nice. Let's see. Oh, I have a NCAA tournament story just for Tom.
Tom Griswold
All right.

BYU star Richie Saunders has turned plenty of heads. He's a lot of accomplishments. He's averaging 16.3 points per game for BYU while helping his squad earn the right to play Alabama tonight in the sweet 16. But oh, by the way, Saunders was born and raised in Utah. He is a Mormon and two members of his family invented Tater Tots. No, no, exactly right. They are the co founders of all Rider. No, no. Or Ryder. Right, that's right.
Josh Arnold
That's amazing.
Bob Kevoian
Saunders is the great grandson of F Nephi Grigg. N E P H I Nephi Grigg, who co founded or Ida with his brother golden in the 1950s. They initially made a name for themselves by growing corn in Oregon before turning their attention to potatoes and coming up with the Tater Tots.
Chick McGee
Had those yesterday for lunch.
Bob Kevoian
Tater Tots smothereda. You guys have tater tots here? Just say yes, will you? Thank you. We'll send out 1956. They introduced the world to the beloved Tater Tots.
Tom Griswold
Love them.
Josh Arnold
Chick, are you a fan of tachos?
Bob Kevoian
I do like tachos. Do you know what they are with your refined palette? No, I don't think they serve those on the Seine in Paris.
Tom Griswold
I assume it's got a Mexican feel of something.
Josh Arnold
Absolutely. Instead of tortilla chips, you use Tater Tots. And it has all the toppings there. Oh, it's very fat.
Tom Griswold
I don't understand. Do you pick them up with your fingers or a four can? Yeah, kind of mess.
Christy Lee
Common.
Chick McGee
No, you just stick your head in them.
Josh Arnold
It's quite messy. Sure. Yes.
Chick McGee
Have you ever had the Tater Tot cheeseburger casserole?
Bob Kevoian
The what?
Chick McGee
Yes, it's like cheese and hamburger and Tater Tots.
Josh Arnold
You can take the girl out of the trailer park.
Chick McGee
That's right. Hey, I'm not ashamed.
Josh Arnold
I'm not saying you should be.
Christy Lee
Oh, be proud of your roots. You came a long way, Christy.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Christy Lee
From the holla to the stage.
Chick McGee
Hey, we can pick up and move anytime.
Bob Kevoian
Trailer park daughter and Tater Tot cheese. Tater Tot. Oh, there.
Chick McGee
I didn't have that casserole till a couple years ago.
Bob Kevoian
Write that up.
Chick McGee
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold

And Chick McGee is across the way in the mobile orangeinsouls.com sports zone.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, boy.
Tom Griswold
And we are talking a little bit of sports. But before we get to that, we're going to segue over to the SILAC Insurance news desk with Christy Lee in an update.
Chick McGee
Well, we have two river otters that made their way out of the Wisconsin zoo enclosure during a recent snowstorm. They still are on the loose, by the way. They haven't caught them yet.
Bob Kevoian
Go otter.
Chick McGee
Go otter. That's right. But we had another story out of Florida. I don't know if you remember this one. A killer river otter blamed for the deaths of two Australian black swans and a duck. That's right. The city of Orlando contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Orange County Animal Services after discovering the deceased birds.
Bob Kevoian
Well, otter that Lakey older's gonna otter's gonna otter.
Josh Arnold
They sure are.
Chick McGee
Yeah, they sure are. Well, trappers were brought in to address the situation. They were able to humanely capture and relocate the otter.
Josh Arnold
Really?
Bob Kevoian
See, but the otter, honestly, is just nature. Right.
Josh Arnold
And aren't swans mean?
Chick McGee
The black swans especially are just rough.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
We don't need to bring race into it. But it's.
Tom Griswold
We also.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's what I was doing.
Christy Lee
You were playing the race card.
Bob Kevoian
And now here's a. Here's Josh's black swan. There's otters out there this big.
Tom Griswold
We also had a guy attacked by otters in a place called Serene Lake, and he had to be airlifted.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that was in California.
Tom Griswold
Brutally attacked while swimming by otters.
Josh Arnold
He was swimming in there. He ought to know better.
Bob Kevoian
Ah. And by the way, did you say a killer otter?
Chick McGee
Yeah, killer otter.
Bob Kevoian
They're. They're labeled as killer.
Chick McGee
Yes, absolutely.
Tom Griswold
The quote. This is a quote from KCRA Television. Yeah, the guy where news comes first. The guy said the otters, quote, wanted to kill me.
Josh Arnold
They walk up with piano wire, 40 bites.
Bob Kevoian
Hey, bring the gun. Leave the cannoli.
Tom Griswold
He goes. I started swimming fast, but there was the otter popped up right in front of me, and I was bit again.
Josh Arnold
Oh.
Tom Griswold
He ended up with 40 puncture wounds.
Bob Kevoian
Holy hell.
Tom Griswold
His wife had to drag him out of the water. So. Otters can be very scary.
Bob Kevoian
You know, I. I remember Christy doing this story yesterday, but I enjoyed it much more. From Tom. I don't. It is.
Chick McGee
It was a different story.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, it's a different story.
Chick McGee
Yeah. You're not paying attention.
Bob Kevoian
No, I'm not paying attention.
Chick McGee
But Pat has a song about the story.
Christy Lee
Oh, the killer otter.
Chick McGee
But the killer otter at Lake Eola.
Christy Lee
And you know what he says? Don't call me otter.
Bob Kevoian
I loved it. I killed myself.

Josh Arnold

Bob Kevoian
I'd hate to be with him in a room full of rocking chairs.
Josh Arnold

Bob Kevoian
You know, Russ Tamblyn had a cat.
Tom Griswold
And is the actor who portrayed Bugsley still with us?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, sadly, I can't see how.

Christy Lee
As a general rule, stole Valium from a drugstore.
Josh Arnold

Tom Griswold
Okay, thank you very much. Okay. Do we have time to talk about Walt no Neck Williams?
Bob Kevoian
Heck, yeah.
Tom Griswold
We're talking baseball. Because once again, we are celebrating Field of Dreams Whiskey Company's presentation of the Bob and Tom show, coming to you from the Smoke Justice Bar Grill and Bourbon Emporium in Covington. Kentucky today to celebrate the Cincinnati Reds opening day. Now, born in 1943, Walt no Neck Williams played for the White Sox. He was later a minor league manager. You're familiar with him, right, Josh?
Josh Arnold
Sure, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
We got a nice letter from a guy. We got a letter from a guy who. We'd mentioned him on the air a couple years ago and this guy actually met Walt Nonak Williams and he said he would go to Tiger games when they were in town, the White Sox were in town and he was one of the only guys that you'd go down to the. Down by the field on. One of the only guys that would actually sign baseballs and stuff. A real sweet guy, but he would never look up at you. Well, barely. His neck was.
Josh Arnold
Rarely wore a scarf too.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, he played long to wear a scarf.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
He played for the Houston Colt 45s, the Cleveland Indians and the New York.
Josh Arnold
Yankees managed by Billy Dee Williams. Right, the Houston cold 45 vibes.
Bob Kevoian
And then he was also shortstop with Bingo Long's Traveling Allstar.
Josh Arnold
That's right.
Tom Griswold
He played with Dave no Feet Sims.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, A lot of pinch running when he would play.
Bob Kevoian
Lots of pinch run.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
If he didn't hit a home run, he just, he really had a hard time out at first.
Tom Griswold
Dave and Louisville kind enough to write us to say how much he enjoyed meeting Walt no Neck Williams so many years ago when he was a little kid. Super friendly guy. So now coming up in sporting news, huh? We have the greatest dicks in baseball. And there are many, many. We have the longest dicks in baseball.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
The short longest dicks in baseball. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Do we have the girthiest?
Tom Griswold
I don't know. I'll look.
Bob Kevoian
But Randy Johnson's got to be there at the top somewhere.
Josh Arnold
Well, they call him the big unit, don't they?
Chick McGee
They sure do.
Tom Griswold
Now who. You know the who's considered to be the best dick in the history of baseball?
Bob Kevoian
The best dick?

Tom Griswold
Cuz he's 66. Oh, very, very big fella.
Chick McGee
Big guy.
Christy Lee
During the steroid era there were no big dicks.
Tom Griswold
Well, if you wanted the smallest dick, of course. Dicky Pierce, 53161. So we'll be reviewing all the.
Josh Arnold
Come on.
Bob Kevoian
Peppered in there. Peppered in there. Baby pepper dinner.

Natty and opening day.
Bob Kevoian
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show, opening day 2025. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. We are at Smoke Justice Covington, Kentucky. It's a beautiful old tavern with hundreds of different types of bourbon. Our show is brought to you by the new famous bourbon, Field of Dreams Whiskey. And we have one of the proprietors of Field of Dreams Whiskey. Joining us on the dais here in our mobile O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, we have Drew Storen, former Major League baseball pitcher. It's nice to see you.
Drew Storen
Thank you, Tom.
Tom Griswold
And we have a special poster here. And I must say, the only one on the front of the poster that looks like a human being really is Drew. It's really very handsome, Christy. It looks weird. I look like a corpse. Everyone looks very strange, but you look very handsome.
Drew Storen
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
You know, it's beautiful. We'll be signing these after the show and it's a great pleasure to be here. By the way, we are also selling some T shirts. Ordinarily, I wouldn't hawk our stuff, but we're donating all the money to a great place called Brave Gowns. It's a great organization. They make little, like pajamas for kids that are in the hospital at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, one of the great hospitals in the world. And by the way, we have a link on our website if you just want to make a donation to the Brave Gowns, you can do it. That way you don't have to worry about a shirt or whatever if you just like to be part of a great program. But we will be selling them here and hope we sell them out so we can give all the money away. It'll be fun. Now, Drew, it's good to see you. You pitched for a while in Cincinnati as part of your major league career?
Drew Storen
I did 2017. Not necessarily the most electric year for the Reds, but we had a fun team. Got to throw to my high school catcher, Tucker Barnhart. So, you know, had a great time. Always good to be back here in Cincy.
Josh Arnold
Would you say you were to blame for a lot of the losses that season?
Drew Storen
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Drew Storen
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Well, you don't learn anything from success.
Josh Arnold
No, you don't learn from your failures.
Drew Storen
This is why I started a whiskey company.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You said baseball's not for me.
Tom Griswold
You have facial hair.
Josh Arnold
Hair.
Tom Griswold
As we speak.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
And did you always have facial hair while you were an active pitcher?
Drew Storen
Yeah, I. When I first came up, I mean, I was real baby face, so I think I had kind of the bad goatee first. And then as I hit puberty, I was able to grow some. It wasn't ever that great, but.
Jeff Oskay
Well, it is now.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
So, I mean, but I bring it up because I don't know if you heard this, but it was announced a couple of weeks ago. The New York Yankees have dropped their ban on beards.
Drew Storen
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Shocking, isn't it?
Drew Storen
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Well, the. The Reds had that for a little bit, I think. Marge. Didn't Marge say some of shots? She didn't like the beard.
Josh Arnold
She was the only one with a mustache for a while.
Chick McGee
She didn't want anybody prettier than her.
Tom Griswold
It's in February of 1999. Marge shot. Lifted the ban on beards.
Bob Kevoian
There you go. So remember, she wanted everybody to rub dog hair for good luck. Rub dog hair on. On the. From shotzy dog hair on the bats. She rubbed it on her.
Tom Griswold
This is. The Cincinnati Reds banned facial hair in 1902. Whoa.
Bob Kevoian
Whoa.
Tom Griswold
And those were the days of the really cool.
Drew Storen
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You know, big, big stashes. But the beard band, you need.
Bob Kevoian
You need to grow the. The handlebar. Tom, that is your.
Tom Griswold
No, thanks.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Yeah.
Drew Storen
It always amazes me when guys, you know, you'll still see it to this day where guys will go all out with the handlebar, you know, pitching in the major leagues. But I always wonder, like, off the field, you know, when you're walking into a place, like, if I grew a mustache out, I couldn't drop my kids off at school. Like, there would be some. Some things that could be issues. So, like, you. You better be a really good baseball player if you're going to really put yourself out there.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I mean, and if you're just a general fellow walking around town, if you have the big goofy handlebar Mustache with the twirls in the end. Can you possibly get laid?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I think women. There, there women out there.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, sure. You're kidding me.
Bob Kevoian
If you maybe.
Tom Griswold
Christy, would you by applause.
Chick McGee
Not my thing, but I'm sure there's ladies out there by applause.
Bob Kevoian
You like a big weird mustache lady. Okay, one lady does that lady over there. Okay.
Chick McGee
Hey, you know what? It only takes one.
Tom Griswold
There you go.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I know she has a drink in her hand.
Bob Kevoian
In all fairness, she looks like she's up for anything.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Hair all up, ready to go.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah, she. Her hair's up. Out of the way. She's all set. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And in any event, big news. The Yankees once again, they've lifted their ban on beards. By the way, the announcement was made by Liza Minelli, so.
Christy Lee
How dare you.
Josh Arnold
She knows from beards.
Bob Kevoian
Yes, Liza with a Z.
Tom Griswold
If anybody knows beards, it's Liza Minelli. I have another interesting thing I want to ask you about that you can confirm this. Researchers rather at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that special mud rubbed onto all major league baseballs has so called magical properties. Yeah. Are you aware. Now tell me, how does this work? It's some mud. It's from some swamp in New Jersey.
Drew Storen
Yeah, it's from a specific swamp in New Jersey that some guy figured out if you rub it on baseballs that, that it gives it a nice little attack. And I don't know how it works and what the magic is, but it's, it's pretty cool. So usually just the clubhouse manager has to rub all the mud on it and now they put it in almost like a compact compost tumbler. And then. Yeah, so everything is kind of rubbed up the same. But if you get a brand new major league baseball, it is like throwing a chalked cue ball. So you need, you know, the, the mud at least.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. This says every ball. Yep. The. In the clubhouse is hand mudded. Yeah. But they did scientific experiments on it and the study authors say the mud spreads like skin cream and grips like sandpaper.
Drew Storen
Yeah. And. And it's funny though, because now it's more uniform. But when I was playing, it wasn't always that way. And you would notice on the road, coming in later in games, that maybe the ball wasn't rubbed up properly, had a little too much mud on it. New York intended to pretty much give you brand new baseballs.
Tom Griswold
No. Have you ever had mud on your balls since you retired?
Drew Storen
Yeah, not as much as when I was playing. But.
Chick McGee
Wait a minute. When you're on the road, you don't bring your own balls? Yeah.
Drew Storen
No, no. Byob.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
That's interesting.
Drew Storen
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
We, we also had a story coming out of India recently about in the world of cricket. They, they have this bizarre thing where they polish half the ball so it makes it.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Sort of like a spitball in American baseball.
Drew Storen
Kind of like almost like scuffing it.
Tom Griswold
The. Did, did you, did you ever have to do anything to. Did you scuff the ball?
Bob Kevoian
I think that's illegal. It is.
Tom Griswold
I mean, in practice.
Drew Storen
I just know that my, my first catcher in the big leagues who's a Hall of Famer, would skip the ball down to second base when, you know, thrown between innings. And I always wondered why he would do that. I'm like, this guy's going to be a Hall of Famer. And then I realized he was giving me a nice scuff.
Josh Arnold
Nice.
Drew Storen
Yeah, yeah. And, and you, once you scuff up a big league ball, it's. Those things are like Tireless Pro V1 so they can, they can scoot pretty good.
Tom Griswold
Well, our guest is Drew Storen, a major league baseball pitcher in the past and former Cincinnati Red, among other things. And he's also the proprietor of the Field of Dreams Whiskey company, our sponsor today. And you got a new, a new batch. Is that the term I want to use?
Drew Storen
Yeah, it's our player series. It's our, it's our annual limited quantity release. So we, we do one bottle for every player in major league history. So we, we've done that. This is our third year running of that. This year it's different. We're doing 108 proof. So we're kind of, we're going to change it every year. So as, as it goes up by about 255 guys a year that debut, we're also going to change the proof. So it's 108 for 54% ABV because Ohtani's homers, so.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, nice.
Tom Griswold
That's cool. And so everyone who's ever played in Major League Baseball has a representative bottle out there.
Drew Storen
Yeah. So they're all hand labeled. If you go to our website, drinkfieldofdreams.com, you can actually search that number and it'll show you the player associated with it. So if you have 19,736, you got mine, so feel free to drink it now.
Tom Griswold
How many do they just do? How many of yours did they do?
Drew Storen
It's just one.
Tom Griswold
Just one. Do you have it?
Drew Storen
No, we sell them all. So that's kind of part of the fun. We don't get to keep any of ours. They're all randomized. We have a. Actually an Excel spreadsheet where all 23,000 bottles. We sort the numbers and make sure that Johnny Bench is in this market. And, you know, some of the. We're doing an online drop today, actually. It's on the website right now. We at. We were supposed to do it at 2:00 this afternoon, but we dropped it starting this morning for Bob and Tom show listeners.
Tom Griswold
So how does it work? Tell me.
Drew Storen
Just go to drinkfield of dreams.com, tom. And so we've got a thousand bottles on there right now, so it's kind of a early access.
Josh Arnold
Is Willie McGee available for you?
Drew Storen
Absolutely.
Christy Lee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
So can you look at the bottle first and pick your player, or is it all random?
Drew Storen
If you're buying online, it's going to be random.
Bob Kevoian
Okay.
Drew Storen
But then if you're at the store and you want to plug it, plug it in while you're there, you can. Oh, yeah, I always. I'll check at the stores and you'll see bottles turned a little bit where you can tell somebody was running some numbers.
Tom Griswold
And the. And the. The. The Field of Dreams whiskey is made from the corn grown on the famous Field of Dreams.
Drew Storen
Yep. It's from the actual movie site. Not just Dyersville, Iowa. Not just Iowa. It's from the actual movie site. So the stuff that's in our bottle is, you know, the corn from. From the first major league game out there with the White Sox and the Yankees.
Josh Arnold
Is it true you guys are branching off to creamed corn as well?
Tom Griswold
Yes. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
When are those cans going to be available? In the fall.
Drew Storen
Yeah, it's more of a fall release.
Tom Griswold
Okay, but. But. But it's not alcohol free, so the kids shouldn't be. Yeah, that's right. Slurping it down.
Bob Kevoian
I do like cream corn, don't you?
Chick McGee
And that stuff.
Bob Kevoian
What was that? The casserole? Cream Sweet.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Corn casserole.
Tom Griswold
Castro.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, that's so good.
Tom Griswold
We tend to get off topic here.
Bob Kevoian
Drew, what are you gonna do?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, now, I was trying to add.
Josh Arnold
Some comedy to whatever we were doing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Okay. Distant forever.
Bob Kevoian
Here's another fact. The Yankees don't have Only wear left shoes.
Josh Arnold
And I don't care how much Drew's paying to sponsor this. And we needed to be funny.
Tom Griswold
Went on forever.
Bob Kevoian
Joe Peone was. And then Jim B.
Tom Griswold
Currently dead. No. Was that a toupee?
Chick McGee
Oh, my God.
Bob Kevoian
Pepitone. No. He had long hair. He had long hair that wasn't a run. I think he played for the Cubs at the end and he had real long shoulder length hair.
Tom Griswold
I see, I see. Now what else is happening over there at, at the Orange and Souls sports desk.
Bob Kevoian

We are in the mobile O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios at Smoke justice in Covington, Kentucky, USA. And this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Bob Kevoian
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in Cincinnati, Ohio in Covington, Kentucky at Smoke Justice. For the true opening day, the Major League Baseball season. There's Christy Lee at the SILAC Insurance news desk.
Chick McGee
Hi Chick.
Bob Kevoian
Pat Godwin, Josh Arnold, drunk in the bathroom. I'm Chick McGee and we have special guests. Tom.
Tom Griswold
We got a couple of former major league baseball players joining us on the dais. Very handsome young men, of course I'm referring to Drew Storen, who we already met from Field of Dreams Whiskey and his former roommate on. On the Road. Do you want to introduce your roommate there, Drew?
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Drew Storen
This is Tyler Clipper. So Clip was my roommate for four years and we were bullpen buddies and two time Yankee Tom. So he knows. Very familiar with the facial hair policy.
Tom Griswold
Got the nickname Click in the Clip in the showers for the circumcision.
Bob Kevoian
Yes.
Drew Storen
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Thank you very much. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Aren't you going to say anything about his unique and strange facial hair?
Tom Griswold
Oh, no. I thought he'd dipped his. His chin into Shinola shola.
Bob Kevoian
Another 1950s reference.
Tom Griswold
Hey, Clip. How are you, sir? I'm good. So in the major leagues, you guys have roommates?
Drew Storen
Well, not on the road, but just at home. We live.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, Yeah.
Drew Storen
I mean, we were. We were young, in our twenties and sure.
Christy Lee
Experimenting.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, experimenting.
Drew Storen
It's part of the learning process.
Chick McGee
You can say bullpen buddies.
Tom Griswold
No. Are you. Are you guys. Are you guys partners in Field of Dreams Whiskey?
Drew Storen
Yeah. So when I. When I retired, I gave this guy a call, told him I was done playing. He's like, all right, if you're done, you need to. You need to do that whiskey idea. So, you know, I just kept going. He was still playing, so I kept calling him every month going, hey, are you seriously in? Because I think we can do it. And here we are.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Once again, Field of Dreams Whiskey. Made from the corn from the famous Field of Dreams in Iowa.
Bob Kevoian
Well, don't get too comfortable. Hall and Oats were together. How long.
Tom Griswold
Aren'T they suing each other?
Bob Kevoian
And then the lawsuit starts Flying, guys. You know, one day bullpen buddies, next day litigants in a court.
Drew Storen
It'd be a heck of an ending.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Y. Y. Sad indeed.
Tom Griswold
I'm prepared for it. All right, there you go. Tyler, I. I was reading about walkout songs in the world of baseball. Do you want to explain what they are?
Bob Kevoian
Walk up songs is what it's called.
Tom Griswold
Walk out on these.
Bob Kevoian
Leaving the game. No, you walk.
Tom Griswold
Walk up.
Bob Kevoian
Sorry, they don't have walkout songs when they leave the game. There he is.
Josh Arnold
But sometimes they have. They have walkout songs when they leave the bullpen, right. And go to the. Make your way.
Bob Kevoian
That's a walk up.
Josh Arnold
I think the walk up was to the home to take a swing.
Bob Kevoian
I quit. Go ahead.
Tom Griswold
We have. We have walkout music for Chick McGee.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Tyler Clippard
I mean, you know, we. We would come out of the bullpens. We were lucky enough to pick our own Music and you know, most guys took it serious and my walkout music wasn't, Wasn't so. So I actually chose Peaches by the presidents of the United States.
Josh Arnold
Oh, it's a great song.
Tyler Clippard
It is a great song, but it's, it is a little quirky as well.
Tom Griswold
It's.
Tyler Clippard
They're talking about peaches, so.
Josh Arnold
Well, millions of peaches.
Tyler Clippard
Millions of peaches.
Josh Arnold
Peaches for free.
Bob Kevoian
A lot of people say they're not singing about peaches, they're singing about. That's sweet. Sweet.
Tom Griswold
A minor league baseball team had a promotion where you could pay five bucks to choose an opposing player's walk up song.
Bob Kevoian
Well, they're not charging enough for that. That's, that's wonderful.
Tyler Clippard
I love that idea.
Tom Griswold
The Stockton Ports now in Major League Baseball, they probably wouldn't allow something that much, that much fun. Fun for the, the opposing team to.
Drew Storen
Well, usually you'll have the, the stadiums that have organists still will sit there and play like troll songs. You know, like there's a certain player that caught. Got caught doing an act in public and they played. Just beat It.
Josh Arnold
Amazing.
Drew Storen
Yeah, very well done, Very well done.
Tom Griswold
Another one bites the dust. Stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. No, no, Drew, you were a pitcher, but you also had to bat. And isn't that one of your best stats?
Drew Storen
Yeah, career 333 hitter.
Bob Kevoian
Wow.
Drew Storen
Tyler's got a double.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, he does.
Tyler Clippard
Yeah. I mean, he's one for three. I'm three for 15. You do, you know, it's better math for Drew, but you know, I, I have three hits. He's got one.
Bob Kevoian
So.
Tom Griswold
Were you scared when you were batting? No, seriously, I would be terrified.
Drew Storen
Yes. My first at bat, I was because, Because I was facing a man. So like, you know, I, anytime I had faced a man, it was a coach throwing batting practice, not some guy trying to punch you out.
Josh Arnold
See, I'm more scared when I have my back to a man in the bullpen.
Bob Kevoian
They call it bullpen buddies is what they call them. And that's right.
Tom Griswold
Okay, now we are celebrating Field of Dreams whiskey. In fact, they actually are serving it here at Smoke justice where they've got hundreds of different kinds of bourbon. And we're in the bourbon capital of the world, the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I thought we'd take a short break for some music. Pat Godwin has a new album out there. It's called Hotel Pool and it's climbed the charts in the world of comedy. Pat, you want to favorite one of the songs?
Christy Lee
Here we go. We'll sing along at the end. But I'll teach you tnm that's all you gotta do. Let me hear you. Come on. Yeah. And I'll take the rest. Here we go. Oh, that's not it, chick.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, sorry.

Tom Griswold
From the new album Hotel Pool. Thank you very much, Patty G. Once again on the deus, we have two old friends. You guys actually were competing against each other as pitchers, is that correct?
Drew Storen
Yes, we're roommates, but were competing for the same closing job. So that it was healthy competition, I would say. But yeah, it was. It was kind of one of those things where we.
Tom Griswold
We.
Drew Storen
But we competed everything. It didn't matter whether it was video games, foosball, like it was all about just being better than him.
Tyler Clippard
I won most everything we did except for winning the closing job.
Tom Griswold
That is the voice of Tyler Clippard. Also joining us, Drew Storen. If you are just joining us, this is the Bob and Tom program in the mobile version of the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. And we're proud to say that we're sponsored today by the Field of Dreams Whiskey company and Two of the gents involved in that are up here in the D with us former major league pitchers. Tyler, you played for how many teams over how many years?
Tyler Clippard
10 teams over 16 years.
Bob Kevoian
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Man. Who has the best home locker room?
Tyler Clippard
The New York Yankees.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they're kind of famous and I.
Tyler Clippard
Heard they just redid it and made it even better, which I can't imagine what it looks like now because it was already really good.
Tom Griswold
So this year a couple of major league teams are playing in like minor league clubs, right? What, the Rays, the Tampa Bay.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, Tampa Bay had their dome just. Yeah, that'll be interesting.
Tom Griswold
I imagine they don't have the quality locker rooms of the majors.
Bob Kevoian
Did you.
Tom Griswold
Did you ever play in the minors? All.
Tyler Clippard
Yeah, I played in. In all over the place in the minor leagues, but I also played in that ballpark that the Rays are going to be at this year. It was. It was a. My high A team, you know, the Tampa Yankees. And yeah, that facility is. Was not great. So I know what they're going to. They got to improve it, I would assume. But good luck to those guys this year.
Bob Kevoian
Hey, Josh, don't you have a story about one of the bullpen guy or. No, the clubhouse guy guys.
Tom Griswold
He.
Bob Kevoian
They would. Something about bubblegum or something.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, depending on what. What team you were at. The clubhouse guys had different jobs and I walked into one and the guy was unwrapping all the double bubble or whatever and putting them in a bowl so that they were just ready to.
Bob Kevoian
Go so they didn't have to. The major leaguers weren't made to unwrap their bubble.
Josh Arnold
You could always tell what team had money.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
And by what was being served and what snacks were available and stuff like that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, we just had a story about. I forget who it was. Banning. Banning cell phones out.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, Washington. Who's he? The manager for?
Tom Griswold
Were you guys. Did you. Did you guys have cell phones when you were out there sitting around waiting?
Drew Storen
Not in the bullpen.
Tom Griswold
No, no.
Drew Storen
Back in the locker room. You did, but. Yeah. No, not down there.
Tyler Clippard
You didn't bring your phone to the bullpen?
Tom Griswold
Man, I did.
Josh Arnold
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
No.
Josh Arnold
I was gonna devil.
Tom Griswold
You know, you could watch a better. Watch a better game.
Tyler Clippard
I will say that did happen. The start of fantasy football week always coincided, like towards the end of the season and that first Sunday of fantasy football, we always made sure either the bullpen catcher or somebody brought their phone down because we wanted to.
Bob Kevoian
Wasn't.
Tyler Clippard
We wanted updates.
Bob Kevoian
Wasn't there like a big fight in major league Baseball with Tom, Tommy Pham and a couple of his teammates and. And fantasy league base football. There was. It's like got it on the field. They were upset with each other. Remember this?
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
They take it seriously, Tom.
Tom Griswold
You know, I. I did. This is a stat that I've just been handed. Tyler launched double bubble wrapper lawn darts farther than anyone in the. What is this? What is this story?
Tyler Clippard
So you.
Tom Griswold
The.
Tyler Clippard
The paper double bubble bubble gum. You can take the paper off and fold it very intricate, intricately. You can. You have to do it very precisely for these darts to. To go a long way. But if you hold them in the tip of your fingers and you. And you. You can flick it quite a ways, and I got really good at that over time. I have very flexible wrists. Give me a lot of leverage to shoot a try to bubble gum wrapper dart very far.
Josh Arnold
Would they pierce anything thing.
Tyler Clippard
It would stick straight. So we would actually try to hit the right fielders when we were. And we got pretty close a few times, and they were just darts all around the out. Fantastic.
Tom Griswold
You guys had a lot of downtime.
Tyler Clippard
A lot of downtime.
Tom Griswold
I see, I see, I see. Well, we're having a great time here in Cincinnati. We're actually in Covington, Kentucky, right across the river, doing a special broadcast thanks to 92.5 the fox in Cincinnati. It is, of course, opening day today, and we have a special T shirt that we're selling so we can donate the money to the Brave Gowns organization. By the way, if you just want to make a donation on your own, you can go to our website. We have a link there. Speaking of that sort of thing, you guys have a special release today of Field of Dreams whiskey. Do you want to explain that one more time for me, Drew? Yes.
Drew Storen
So on our website, drinkfieldofdreams.com Tom, we dropped our player series bourbon for this year. One bottle for every player in major league history. Last year, we sold 5,000 bottles of it in an hour off our website. So we did a little early release for Bob and Tom listeners. So if you guys want to get on there and get your bottle delivered to you, you don't even have to take it home today.
Tom Griswold
Okay. And one more quick question. Tyler, I understand that your road alias was the Pink Panther. Is there a story behind that?
Tyler Clippard
It's not really. I think I just embraced it because everyone. Everyone always used to talk about how funny I walked. So I very much walked like the Pink Panther. So I just embraced people making fun of me. And I was like, you know what? I'm gonna lean into this and call myself the Pink Panther. On the road.
Drew Storen
The best was we were in Detroit one year and I left my phone in his room. And so we had been down at the hotel bar and, you know, had a couple cocktails. And so I go up to the front desk and I was like, you know, excuse me, ma'am. I need to know what room the Pink Panther's in. Sir, sir, I assure you the Pink Panther is not stained. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. I need you to look it up. No, sir. And then she looks up. Oh, 318.
Tom Griswold
Told you. Oh, thank you very much.
Chick McGee
What was your road alias?
Drew Storen
That was Jimmy Neutron and then Patrick. Patrick Bates. Bateman was the other one.
Chick McGee
Oh, my God.
Josh Arnold
So you went from boy Genius to American Psycho.
Drew Storen
Yeah, I grew up a little bit.
Tom Griswold
Huh? A little inside baseball. This is great. Well, thanks for joining us, guys. We're gonna meet comedian Rob Haney in just a few minutes. We'll get some more music out of Mr. Godwin. We gotta check in with Christy Lee at the SILAC Insurance news desk. And I'll remind you that we are in the Mobile O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios at the beautiful small Smoke Justice Tavern, the beautiful city of Covington, Kentucky. It's old and it's gorgeous, full of great restaurants. And I'll remind you also, this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Christy Lee
There's more of the show coming up. Book your next vacation with Christy Lee and Colette.
Tom Griswold
Visit England, Scotland and Wales this September 28th.
Christy Lee
Visit bobandtom.com for details. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Bob Kevoian
Come back to the Bob and Tom Show. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're in Cincinnati, Ohio, all right, Technically, Covington, Kentucky, and we're at Smoke justice for today's Reds opening day victory over the San Francisco Jams.
Tom Griswold
This is a. Just a really cool, beautiful old town.
Bob Kevoian
It sure is amazing. Buil. I need to know when I'm going to tom out. I need to know when this was built and. And how long it's been here and.
Tom Griswold
All sorts of stuff.
Chick McGee
What it was originally.
Tom Griswold
And we. When we came in, Chick and I, they sent us into the basement first, right? And it's like walking through the. The catacombs.
Bob Kevoian
It was very, very catacomy, but just.
Tom Griswold
Beautiful and beautiful old brick. Just a great old place. So many wonderful spots like this around Cincinnati.
Bob Kevoian
I'm thinking livery. There were, like, horses in here, right?
Josh Arnold
Right.
Chick McGee
Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
Tom Griswold
Just gorgeous. And some gorgeous people here, too. Some very handsome men. Look lovely ladies.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Oh, they're mostly built over there. But we're very pleased to see you here.
Bob Kevoian
Thank you. And don't sleep on the lady with the hair on her head. Boy, piled up way up high there.
Tom Griswold
Very good. We are in the Mobile O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Chick McGee is of course over there at the orangeinsols.com sports desk. I mentioned that because our friends at Orange Insoles have something special going on. They want to award you with a 4K gigantic big screen television set, almost as big as the one Christy Lee just got at her place, but not.
Bob Kevoian
As big as her husband wanted. Nope.
Tom Griswold
But yeah, go to bobandtom.com contest. And while you're. I'm just a bit running around on the Internet today, we have a link on our website to the Brave Gowns website, which is a great organization that provides kids that are at Cincinnati Children's Hospital with like superhero pajamas and stuff. Just, it just is so nice. You can make a donation if you want, if you feel like it. And we're giving all the money from these T shirts to that organization. So just something for fun and something to help out some kids that may be having a rough time right now. But we're so happy to be here. And the Major League Baseball season once again getting underway. Well, it already started in Japan, but.
Bob Kevoian
This is, ah, we don't recognize that.
Tom Griswold
That's, this is the USA version of that. And we've, we've been chatting with a couple of Major League Baseball pitchers. Now we're going to go to the other end of the spectrum, which is baseball fans. And we have brought up our friend comedian Rob Haney, longtime Cincinnati Red fan.
Rob Haney
Yep, very excited about the season. There's a lot of energy with the new manager and, uh, just sports in general. In Cincinnati, the Bengals, uh, spent some money, got their wide receivers and I was, Joe Burrow had such a great year. He was, as you probably know, voted comeback player of the year. And your team, Tom, the Cleveland Browns, DeSean Watson was voted. Please don't come back.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yes, sir. One of the worst, one of the worst arrangements ever made in sports until the NBA actually just topped that for the worst trade in history. But, you know, how are things going for you in Cincinnati?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, fine.
Rob Haney
You know, that is me. I'm living the nightmare.
Tom Griswold
Why is that?
Rob Haney
Well, just, I'm not, I'm not embracing old age. It's not going well. I know lots of times I'm on the show and I always complain about high technology.
Bob Kevoian
No.
Rob Haney
Well, you guys misunderstand me. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying I don't like it. Like I had to drive a high tech car the other day and I felt like Orville Wright trying to fly F15. I've done this before, but it was nothing like this. And so many things, I get irritated so easily now that I'm older. I think this probably bothers everybody. But that thing where you call up, I don't care who you call, and it says, please listen carefully as our menu has changed. Well, the other day I called, this is the worst. It said, please listen carefully as our menu has changed. Change to make sure none of the options match why you called. Then you get that computer thing where you can't even talk to human being. And you know, you keep struggling and you finally get a human being and the accent's so heavy, you go, I tell you what, give me back to the computer.
Tom Griswold
See, I see. Now, are you going to be attending a lot of games this year? You're going to get down here, hopefully you.
Rob Haney
Yeah, yeah, I wish I are Drew and the other guy, the professional ball players, they gone or.
Chick McGee
No, they're still here.
Rob Haney
Maybe anybody can answer this. This is stupid. But when does. When does chatter stop? Because remember when I was a little League, it was always, come on, you know, let's have a little chatter.
Bob Kevoian
Swing, batta swing, swing. Come on, pitcher's got a rag arm. Let's go, let's go. Right?
Rob Haney
I mean, when does that stop? It's hard for me to picture Sparky Anderson going, hey, hey, Rose, bench. That's your little life here.
Bob Kevoian
A little.
Chick McGee
You don't think they do that?
Tom Griswold
Swing.
Bob Kevoian
That a swing.
Josh Arnold
Similar things happen in the dugout still, I'm sure.
Chick McGee
I would think, I bet.
Rob Haney
But not chatter like that. They might be what they call them, bench jockeys. I think sometimes.
Bob Kevoian
Hum babe, hum.
Tom Griswold
Remember hum babe?
Bob Kevoian
I do you remember hum baby.
Tom Griswold
I'm all bucked up.
Rob Haney
Yeah, we want a pitcher, not a belly.
Bob Kevoian
That's right, we all. Yeah, not a belly itcher.
Rob Haney
Yeah, well, maybe I'm wrong. Just couldn't imagine pro players doing that, you know? Oh, well, that went nowhere, didn't it? If you was concerned about where the exits are, Let me do some comment. You'll find out real quick.
Josh Arnold
We'll be honest, Rob, that was a premise.
Christy Lee
Didn't really go anywhere.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, no, no, no. If you want to do that.
Rob Haney
Yeah, I was actually genuinely curious. I didn't know.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, well, see, that's where you made your first mistake.
Tom Griswold
By the Way. I wanted to remind you, if you'd like to be part of the field of dreams whiskey company's special event today, you can go to drinkfieldofdreams.com tom and they'll explain what's going on. A bottle in honor of every player in the history of the major leagues. By the way, I never really got to tell you guys about all the famous dicks in baseball.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, actually I wanted to ask Rob real quick. While you look for that, I'm going to remind you of one of your bits.
Rob Haney
Rob.
Tom Griswold
Bob.
Bob Kevoian
You were a Bengals fan and you'd gone to the. You suffered through it off season. You went to the first game of the year. And. And do you. Do you remember what happened when you were at the stadium?
Rob Haney
Yes. You had me tell this every time.
Bob Kevoian
I know. I love it. I love this story.
Rob Haney
And you always have to help me out. The coaches from London, Ohio, Dick Lebo.
Bob Kevoian
Dick Leone.
Rob Haney
I'm excited by Ms. The very first game, mind you, the very first game.
Bob Kevoian
Y.
Rob Haney
And I'm the first play for the Bengals to get called for delay a game.
Bob Kevoian
You had a year.
Christy Lee
You had a year to call that play.
Bob Kevoian
What the hell?
Tom Griswold
Speaking of dicks, one of the great things about baseball is they have stats on everything and did a little homework. Here we have some names of famous baseball players or not so famous players. Players that played in the majors that have redundant names. For example, Dick cox played in 1897. Dick Pole.
Bob Kevoian
Real quick. Hang on to see how happy he is. Maybe.
Christy Lee
Yeah, he's smiling like a cat.
Bob Kevoian
Let's lean into this. What was it? Dick Pole.
Tom Griswold
How about Dick Cocker?
Bob Kevoian
Dick Cocker.
Tom Griswold
But there has never been been a major league player named Dick Johnson.
Josh Arnold
No. That's amazing.
Chick McGee
That is amazing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it really is. When did there's been a Dick Woodson?
Bob Kevoian
When did Dick enter the lexicon, if you will, that it's a slang for a penis?
Josh Arnold
Huh?
Tom Griswold
That's a very fair question.
Bob Kevoian
I don't know, maybe before the 1900s, maybe 1880. Dick meant fine, upstanding young man.
Chick McGee
Well, sure, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Well, maybe because born in 1847. Dick Hunt. Hunt.
Bob Kevoian
Wow.
Josh Arnold
Try to. Try to separate those a little better.
Bob Kevoian
Or maybe do what I did the other day. Spell it out for.
Tom Griswold
I think this might be more in the redundant one. Dick Stone, a major league baseball player.
Josh Arnold
Sounds like a porn star from the Flintstones.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Remember the Flintstones had Ann Marro?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And then a guy who came up in the majors early. Dick Young.
Josh Arnold
Enter Dick Young.
Bob Kevoian
Enter.
Chick McGee
Thanks, Josh.
Josh Arnold
He doesn't have the computer to play it.
Tom Griswold
Now, how do you pronounce this name? S last name. S S U C H, S. Oh, sucks. Such. Okay.
Chick McGee
Such.
Tom Griswold
Dick. Such.
Bob Kevoian
No.
Tom Griswold
Okay, that's okay.
Bob Kevoian
That's a hard ch.
Tom Griswold
Okay, okay. How about the very modest Dick Hyde?
Christy Lee
That's what I have.
Tom Griswold
What was he in the pool and then the gifted.
Bob Kevoian
Didn't you have a wallet named out of Made out of Dick Hide?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I had to throw it away though.
Bob Kevoian
Why is that every time you rub.
Tom Griswold
It turned into a suitcase?
Chick McGee
Go on, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Every time he rubbed it, it turned into a suitcase. That's right. Let me get it out.
Bob Kevoian
That's where he was going.
Tom Griswold
I know. He was stuck stumbling, I can see.
Josh Arnold
Thank you for the help. You should have seen the coin purse, by the way.
Tom Griswold
Oh, there you go.
Josh Arnold
Oh, there you go.
Bob Kevoian
I knew I was to play.
Tom Griswold
Once again, the smallest Dick in the history of Major League baseball at 5:3. Dick Pierce.
Josh Arnold
Hardly. He had a Prince Albert.
Tom Griswold
The first Dick in baseball was also Dick Pierce.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Was a short stop with the New York Mutuals going way back to the 1800s. The best dick once again, of course, Dick Allen. But some of the great names of of Dick's Dick Rudolph, he had a red tip. I remember this guy. Dick Donovan.
Josh Arnold
Oh, they call him Mellow Yellow.
Tom Griswold
This is a good Dick. Drago.
Bob Kevoian
Drago, I must break you.
Tom Griswold
There is the all Dick team. I've got a few more. We'll get to them. Perhaps later. Perhaps not.
Chick McGee
All right, fair enough.
Tom Griswold
And as Chick always points this one out, the most disgusting Dick Groat.
Bob Kevoian
Dick Groat. Sorry, Tom, we looked at your chart heart and the tests are back. And you have Dick Groat.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I've never seen a Spirochet quite this ugly. Thank you very much.
Bob Kevoian
Somebody yelled it. Sounds like a sex move. Are you happy? Yes, sir. Thank you very much.
Tom Griswold
My favorite fan. I gave her the old dick groat. She won't walk right for a week. Coming up, we're gonna get another song. Got a request for a song from Mr. Pat Godwin. Pat's new album is called Hotel Pool. And once again, a little activity on the smartphone today. You can watch our show, of course, on YouTube.

Bob Kevoian
Hey, welcome back to Cincinnati, Ohio, by way of Covington, Kentucky. It's Red's opening day. We are at Smoke Justice, a fabulous barbecue restaurant here in Covington and hanging out with Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hello, Pat Godlin. Hello, Josh Arnold. Hi, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Hello, Chick McGee at the orangeinsouls.com sports desk. Got to get all the plugs in. Speaking of plugs, Josh, you got a little gift over there.
Josh Arnold
I was gifted something very, very cool. And actually I consider this gift number two, because earlier in the week we received the gift of an email from a listener who apparently knows me very well and knows how I like to fly. Rob, you're a big traveler. You fly a lot.
Rob Haney
Not as much as I used to, but yes.
Josh Arnold
Okay. Yeah, yeah, I, I hate flying. I'm just never comfortable. And so this gentleman wrote in for Arnold Airlines with all the, the rules for how I want to fly.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
What would they be? Give me.
Josh Arnold
Seat belts are optional. There are no drinks served. You have to bring your own 9 liter bottle of water.
Tom Griswold
Right.
Bob Kevoian
All that free pizza. Or is that Tom's Edition?
Josh Arnold
No, it was in the email, but that is probably due to Tom.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Well, this guy, he also brought. He's here today. He brought an Arnold Airlines hat.
Christy Lee
The company is official.
Bob Kevoian
Yes.
Chick McGee
Look at that.
Josh Arnold
So cool. So I'm very happy to support this and hopefully this will be the beginning of the actual airline. I think we can make this happen.
Christy Lee
We're going to buy one plane first. If I could be your partner.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Got to go on Shark Tank. See what they say. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Now we are going to be joined by comedian Jeff Oskar. Oh, there he is on the dance. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Smoke Justice. Jeffrey, allow me to introduce the very handsome Jeff. Oscar. The man, the beard, the tie. What's going on over there, Jeffrey?
Jeff Oskay
Well, nothing I do have failed to mention, but it's not Friday, so I'm gonna do some little known facts about baseball. Some little known facts. Okay, here's a true fact. During an average major league game, about 50 foul balls are hit into the crowd. Little known fact, fact, 20 of those are batters intentionally trying to hit the fan currently on their cell phone.
Josh Arnold
Oh, they don't care for that.
Tom Griswold
Watch the game for they see, they notice.
Christy Lee
They care in the moment.
Jeff Oskay
The record for the most consecutive Victories on opening day is 10 by the Boston Bean Eaters.
Bob Kevoian
Hey.
Jeff Oskay
Little known fact, they were known as the Boston bean eaters until 1896, then the team rebranded as the Boston Fart Knockers.
Josh Arnold
We got an applause.
Bob Kevoian
Heart knocker.
Jeff Oskay
There you go. There you go. That's how you do it, Rob.
Bob Kevoian
That's not around, Rob.
Jeff Oskay
Since President Taft, every president has thrown out a first pitch on opening day. Except Jimmy Carter.
Bob Kevoian
Huh.
Jeff Oskay
Little known fact, Jimmy Carter famously threw out the first bag of peanuts.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Josh Arnold
Unnaturally.
Tom Griswold
Back in Georgia. More a mutual losing, really. But I'm laughing.
Bob Kevoian
Smiler.
Tom Griswold
Yes. Reader's Digest.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Then you'll love this one. Each baseball has 108 stitches.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yes.
Jeff Oskay
Little known fact, them balls be snitching.
Bob Kevoian
Balls that snitch.
Jeff Oskay
Okay, there's balls out there that stitch. Thank you for the save.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, my God.
Jeff Oskay
Before 1859, umpires used to sit in padded chairs behind home plate.
Bob Kevoian
No, they didn't. Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Little known fact, with the introduction of robots and the automatic ball strike system, umpires will soon be sitting on their couch collecting unemployment. With all these new additions, they're testing out. If I was an MLB umpire, I'd go going strike.
Josh Arnold
Really sold it.
Jeff Oskay
Wow. YouTube crowd. In 1940, Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob Feller threw the only no hitter in opening day history against the White Sox.
Tom Griswold
Yay.
Jeff Oskay
Little known fact, throughout Bob Feller's MLB career, he suffered from horrible gas.
Josh Arnold
Oh.
Jeff Oskay
That would gross out his teammates in the line locker room. When management confronted Bob, he'd blame his teammates for the foul stench, which is how the phrase the smeller is the feller was first coined.
Tom Griswold
Oh, nice.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Bad denture.
Bob Kevoian
Was Bob Feller.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he was. Yeah, he signed my glove.
Jeff Oskay
And finally, Major League baseball plays with 900, 000 balls a season. Little known fact, Good start, said Andy Dick.
Christy Lee
I'm Jeff.
Jeff Oskay
And these are the little known facts.
Christy Lee
I fathom it.
Tom Griswold
Thank you.
Bob Kevoian
Very nice, Jeffrey.
Tom Griswold
Oskar. Thank you very much, Jeffrey. Good to know. To know. Now, also joining us in the day is comedian Rob Haney, a Buckeye, long time, a Bengal fan, a Red fan.
Bob Kevoian
Still. Still living over there in Beaver Creek.
Rob Haney
Yes, I am.
Bob Kevoian
All right. Okay, that's him.
Rob Haney
I know you get tired and you can play on being old, but things, I just. That's all I. I dwell on now as I. I get older and things change so much. Like the doctor will prescribe me some medication now and I read every side effect. I'll even Google it. Back in the 70s, some guy was let me snort something in the concert parking Lot. And I did it because he said it's cool. My social life just over pretty much the other night. I actually, actually went to the Moose and the VFW the same night. And I called that bar hopping.
Tom Griswold
You're an old man now.
Christy Lee
You're getting older, huh?
Tom Griswold
It is.
Rob Haney
It's terrible. People say, rob, what's shaking? I said, just my bottle of boost in my man boobs.
Tom Griswold
Now, are you a fan of the reefer? Do they have the legal reefer in Ohio?
Rob Haney
Yes, they do. And in fact, we can grow it now. And all I can tell you is be a lot less tomatoes in the garden this year.
Tom Griswold
I see. Now, do you remember the weed from the 70s? Did you imbibe back in the day?
Rob Haney
Sure. Yeah. Back then, all this Alco Gold and Maui Wow.
Christy Lee
Panama Red.
Rob Haney
Yeah, Panama. Oh, that. That was. That was.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, a lot of stems and seeds, wasn't it?
Rob Haney
Back then? Yeah, you had to clean it. In fact, I remember one time my. This guy was rolling one up and he's not to cleaning it at all. He's got the seeds in there and the stems are poking through the hole. And somebody else said, what are you doing? He goes, I paid for it. I'm smoking it.
Josh Arnold
He wanted all of it.
Tom Griswold
All right, I see Mr. God. You ready for another song?
Bob Kevoian
Sure.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Patty G has a new album out there. It's called Hotel Pool. And we had a big crowd here at Smoke Justice. A great crowd.
Bob Kevoian
Thanks.
Tom Griswold
Coming.
Christy Lee
This is visual, but we have Bill Murray's here at the bar.
Josh Arnold
Guy in Bill Murray if they get to raise.
Tom Griswold
Winner of the Bill Murray look alike contest.
Christy Lee
This is weird for me, being in a bar as. As you guys know, I. I'm allergic to alcohol.
Josh Arnold
I get those. What do you call them, divorces.
Christy Lee
So I. How do you. How do you solve a drinking problem if you're Irish? This is how you solve it. You put your glasses on first if you're old. Like Rob Haney.
Bob Kevoian
That's right.
Christy Lee
Ah, my uncle Jack. Drunk as a skunk at his work, honey. Broke his back, bruised his bladder Switched to beer, now he's okay Some tart broke me hard and set me free so I drank straight gin for a year One day woke up in a rehab facility Switched up air and now I'm okay. How do you get your head declared? Switch the bear.
Bob Kevoian
Switch the bear.
Christy Lee
Oh, you don't have to go to a switch. Severe. You'll be okay. It's the Irish way. Father McFeely said a sorry mass three sheets to the wind at his church one day. Pinched an altar boy on the ass. He didn't switch the beer. He just moved away. Go party on and have no fear. Switch the beer. Stay away from the hard stuff. Switch the bear. It's strong enough. How do you get your head to clear? Switch the bears. Well, you don't have to go to a switch to bear. You'll be okay. It's the Irish way. All right. Thank you very much.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Josh Arnold
A bar for pee for Patty.
Christy Lee
Very good.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. Patty G. Now, if.
